The Dallas-Forth Worth rivalry, Lyft mysteries, and bloodthirsty coyotes.
|

Mike Rawlings and Betsy Price Respect Each Other As Equals. Here’s a nice story about how the two mayors of the (one-time) rival cities have been campaigning for North Texas together.

Dallas Coyotes are Getting a Little Too Friendly. A Junius Heights home surveillance camera recorded a coyote attack on a neighborhood cat. Apparently coyote sighting are becoming more frequent, not because the coyote population is rising, but because the animals are getting more comfortable around us humans. The moral of this story is that if you come across a coyote, don’t whip out your cell and stand there, shoo it away. Mister Fuzzywinkle’s life depends on it.

Owner of Dallas Home Health Company Gets 17.5 Years in the Clink. Wilbert James Veasey Jr. owned Apple of Your Eye Home Healthcare Services which used homeless people to scam Medicare out of millions and became one of the largest home health care fraud cases in the country.

The Mystery of Lost Keys, a Lyft Ride, and a Stolen Car. Ciarra Vaughn left her keys in a Lyft car over the weekend and a day later her car was found wrecked in South Dallas. The strange part, she says, is the perp in the surveillance video doesn’t appear to be her Lyft driver. So how did the thief get her keys and find her car in downtown Dallas? Police are on it.
